Car Hire Western Australia

Explore Western Australia in a Hire Car

Western Australia is the country's largest state, and this means there is plenty of natural sights to see and activities to do on your driving holiday. While you are in Perth, a panoramic view of the city and the beautiful Swan River can be found by exploring Kings Park - the city's immaculately presented botanical gardens. Discover the history of the region by taking a tour of Fremantle's historic buildings and Fremantle prison, then enjoy a meal in the bustling Cappuccino strip before cooling off in one of the many water parks around Perth.

There is rich natural beauty and culture outside of Perth to explore in your Auto Europe car hire, including some of the country's most famous food and wine regions, Margaret River and the Swan Valley. Many premium wineries, gourmet food producers and a sprinkling of craft breweries call Western Australia home, and most are just a short driving distance apart. The South West coast offers numerous lookout points, some of the best surfing hotspots in the country for the adrenaline seekers, and calm sheltered beaches perfect for families.
